Numbering your lessons may be the most important part of your curriculum planning, and helping your classroom run.\\xa0 Giving your course a coding system won\\u2019t just be beneficial to you either.\\xa0 Numbering your lessons will help your students, parents, admin, guidance and team teachers.\\xa0

I use my coding system everywhere that I can. I number my lessons and put those codes on worksheets, notebook pages, lesson plans, unit plans etc.\\xa0 You name it, there\\u2019s a number on it! By using a coding system, you can streamline your photocopies and get out of the copy room as soon as possible.\\xa0

My numbering system for my lessons has 7 major benefits

  1. It outlines where I am in my curriculum and pacing
  2. It forces me to create flow within my lessons and planning
  3. Paperflow and photocopies aren\\u2019t stressful
  4. Keeps my students organized
  5. Parent communication is much clearer (this is especially true for more complex subjects that parents don\\u2019t use in their everyday lives, like chemistry)
  6. Gradebook is much more organized and it\\u2019s easier for kids to make up work\\xa0\\xa0
  7. INBs take up less time\\xa0 (If you\\u2019re interested in hearing more about My Unpopular Opinions about Interactive notebooks, you can read the post here. )
